pierces · August 21, 2023

Pictures taken between Monday, August 21 and Sunday, August 27.

Are you having an interesting week? There's always something to photograph. Surprise us!

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Week three of the Ordeal of Skating: Output. This week, I spent twenty or so hours going through not only the 3,538 I shot, but the 1,452 that Granddaughter Hailee shot from a different vantage point. The resulting 1,005 lightly edited shots were divided into folders representing the fourteen show segments corresponding to the group photos as well as folders for the opening number, intermission skits and finale. The next step was to burn them to flash drives to be delivered to the parents and relatives that pre-ordered a poster and the action photos from the show. It was a lot of work. It was also a lot of fun using my camera and editing skills for a good cause. I can’t imagine doing this for a living but as an in-kind donation to said good cause, it felt pretty darn good.
